Secretly Incredibly Fascinating - BONUS SHOW 201: "Fibonacci Retracement and Fibonacci Poetry"

This is the bonus show for Episode 201! (The Fibonacci Sequence)

Alex Schmidt and Katie Goldin explore the obviously incredibly fascinating topic of people online using the Fibonacci sequence to make stock market predictions, and to write poetry in a new form.

(FYI, as mentioned on the main show, Alex had a frayed cable and we're using his backup audio. It still sounds good! And if you have great speakers or headphones or ears, you might hear a difference from his usual microphone.)

Here are links to Investopedia dot com, and the NASDAQ website's blog, presented as two examples of people making claims about Fibonacci retracement as an effective stock trading strategy. We do not endorse these claims.
